This example demonstrates adding multiple new style pointers of different styles to a meter.<br><br>
For angular meters, classical pointers are added using <a href="BaseMeter.addPointer.htm">BaseMeter.addPointer</a>, while new style pointers are added using <a href="AngularMeter.addPointer2.htm">AngularMeter.addPointer2</a>.<br><br>
When compared to classical pointers, new style pointers are thinner. They are designed to be used with the new style meter cap (the circular object at the center), which is larger than the classical pointer cap, and is configurable using <a href="AngularMeter.setCap2.htm">AngularMeter.setCap2</a>. The base and tip of the new style pointer can move independently in the radial direction, which means the pointer can be detached from the center, and can even points from the outside inwards.
